BOUGE-CUTTING MACHINE.

Application l'ed September 5, 1923. Serial No. 660,974. Y'

To all whom it may camcom.'

Be it known that I, MILIvoJ MAR'rrNov, a citizen of the United States, n Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented'a new and useful Dough-Cutting Machine, of which the following is a specification. v

This invention relates to improvements to be used by bakers `in the process of cutting the dough to the proper size formaking French rolls, or biscuits and the like. ,Y

Oneobject of this` invention isto provide a dough cutting machine for cutting the long strings of it has been placed within the baking pan.

' Another' object of this invention is toprovide'a dough cuttingvmachine with a removable baking pan-in'which, the dough can be placed to be cut and then the pan removed with the Vdough therein to be placed in the oven for baking.

Anotherobject of thisinvention Yis to provide Ya'dough cuttingr'nachine with a removable baking pan with a wire netting bottom for the dough to be placed thereon. Another object of this invention is to provide a dough cutting machine with a removable baking pan, whichhas a wire netting for the bottom of the baking pan, so that all surplus grease will drain out of the pan and allowing only enough grease to remain on the netting to give the French lrolls the desired flavor.

Another object of thisv invention is topro-y vide a dough cutting machine that is cheap in construction, easy to take apart for cleaning and quickly assembled. y Another object of this invention is to provide a dough cutting machine that will save time and labor in preparing the rolls for the oven, and to do away with the work of cutting the dough by hand as is done at the resent time.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists of the following parts to be hereinafter described, and claimed.

Referring to the drawings, in which; Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention with the plate 13 removed toshow the wire netting in the bottomy of the baking pan 20. Fig. 2, is an end view of Figfl. I Fig. 3, is a section on line 3-3 Fig. 2, showing the baking pan 20 partly out of the machine with dough 26 shown thereon. Fig. 4, is a View on line. 1 -4f Fig. 1.

residing at Salt dough to proper length afterV Fig. 5, is a plan view showing part of the baking pan.

Similar lettersand numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings. f v 1 denotes the' baseof the machine with lugs2 and 2 integral with the sides thereof.y

The lugs 2 and 2 support the Ayoke B. The yoke B is comprised ofV threearms or sections, butl can be made in one piece if so desired. The arm 5 is hinged within the. lugs f 2 while the arms 6 and 6 are hinged in the luOs 2. within said lugs by a bolt 24.y The arm 5 The arms, 6 and 6 are secured is secured within the' arms 6 and 6 and attached thereto by the bolt 7.

On each end of the frame is placed `a cross rod 8, which extends from side to side and is secured to the: sides of the frame by bolts 10.` vSecured to the cross rod 8 are the knife guides' 11' through which the knives 112| operate. I

` rI he knives 12 are secured to a plate 13 by angle/irons 13 or other mechanical means.

The plate 13 extends the full length `and` width of the knives 12. yTo thepla'te 13 is secured another plate 14C for reenforcingthe plate 13. Secured to the plate 111 is a. block 14: inwhich is secured the lower end of the` -liftingrack 15.-` f,

The rack 15 extends upward from the block 14C the upper end thereof passin between the arms 6 and 6 of the yoke B. ivotally placed between the arms 6 and 6 and secured therein by the pin 18 is a segment gear 17 having a handle 19 attached thereto. The segment gear and handle operates the rack 15 to raise and lower `the knives12.

A removable dough or baking pan 20 is placed within the base and resting under the knives for containing the dough for the rolls while being cut by the knives and while being baked in the oven. A wire netting 22 forms the bottom of said pan, and is reenforced by strips 23 which also receive the sul cutting edge of the knives when the dough is chine under thexvknives 12. fWhemso Yplaced the liandle'lQ` 1s raised up to*l the position as shown by dotted lines 30 thus lowering the knives l2 andqcuttilng the dough rto 4the proper length. Now thehan'dle'is moved back to place and the pan reinoveditobe placed in the oven for baking.

vIn the event that.the,,marchine,is,to be cleaned and must be taken apart, the bolt 1017 is removedf thus disconnecting the arm 5 from the arms 6 and 6 allowing' the arm 5 tof be moved` outward in, the directionof the arrow B. and the. armsvG and` to be moved in the direction of the arrow A, thearms swinging' on athebolt 24. @When the arms are so placedythe plate 13 supporting the knives and the :knives witlrallaparts attached can beremovedand placed to oneside for oleanang.,

vi Itisy to beiunderstood that the form of my invention-herein shown changes in the shape, sizeandarrangement of. parts may be re csortednto wit-hout departing from the spirit of the invention-forthe scope of the claims. Having thus idescribed my invention, what vl claim anddesire to secure by'Letters Pat- `ent,is:

ll dough cuttingmachine:ofthe char- ,acterfdescnibed having a base, said base havfingilugs finte'gral therewith. projecting' from the sides thereof, arms pivotally placed Ywithin said lugs, said arms vbeing connected to,l forma yoke,roneofsaid arms. interlock- ,-.ing theother of said;armsmeans for hold- 8-ing said arms together, said` base Ihavinga .crossbrace secured to the ends thereof, knife vguides secured to said cross braces, a knife :operating withinsaidvknife guides for cutting the dough within thebaking pan, a
